WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active…

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…

If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

NEW BOUNCY METRONOMY
Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel…

10 SONGS WITH DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ
One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are…

REVIEWING ALL THE OASIS ALBUMS
Everyone’s an Oasis fan these days, now they’ve got back together and either reminded people with greying sides of the summers of their youth, or indeed, giving the young ‘ins a chance to see what the Gallagher brothers are like on stage. Of course, not literally everybody is an Oasis fan and – this writer…

REVIEW / CLIPSE / LET GOD SORT EM OUT
It’s been well over a decade since we last got to look forward to a new full release from Clipse, and here we are in 2025 with ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ – with the pair backed by Pharrell and a host of high quality features, for a release that barely needed any publicity push.…
